One New Thing: Job application documents are done differently in different countries.

Once again from the NewGrad list (it isn’t the only list I’m reading: obviously just one of the most memorable!). Someone asked about writing cover letters / selection criteria for the Australian job market, because it seems that it is done quite differently overseas. From a quick and dirty search I’ve found this page on international CV and resume writing from JobERA which outlines what to put on your CV from country to country. Although I’d probably doublecheck the information elsewhere before sending off overseas applications, it’s interesting to note all the small and not-so-small differences.
